Poem of the week

The Folk Who Live in Backward Town

The Folk Who Live in Backward Town

Are inside out and upside down.

They wear their hats inside their heads

And go to sleep beneath their beds.

They only eat the apple peeling

And take their walks across their ceiling.

______ Mary Ann Hoberman

What was Happening?

We focused on letter R for this whole past week. We made our rainbow out of construction papers that represents our letter of the week, the letter R. We also made our letter R mini-books. We picked our favorite items that start with the letter R and glued them on a poster that is placed outside our classroom.

This week, we started a new core word “stop”. For that purpose, we started on our book, “Stop”, said the cop”. Each one of the explorers now has a copy of this book to read with the family at home. Since it is Spring, therefore, for this week, we read “Don’t Push the Button! An Easter Surprise” book, by “Bill Cotter”. Our reading comprehension question was, “What book did we read?”. We also explored “Butch The Outdoor Cat” book, written by “Diane DeFord” and illustrated by “Pam Posey“, and we answered some comprehension questions about this book.

In math, we started “Opposite” concept. We played with different colors of die and cones.

In social studies, we talked about different holidays people celebrate in the United States and around the world, as well.

The explorers visited Music, Art, and Gym, and they had such a great and fun time during their activities with each other and with the staff, as well.

The most excited event we had this week was having the Exotic Zoo assembly. We had the chance to see such amazing and beautiful animals such as the owl, a cub, a kangaroo, a leopard, a turtle, and an alligator. Some of us were so happy to touch the animals, while some of us were very scared!
